Hindustan Aeronautics Limited Custom Bid for Yearly & Half-Yearly Press Testing & Safety Inspection Services 2025

Tender Overview

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (Department of Defence Production) seeks a custom bid for services to provide yearly testing and certification of presses with capacities from 250 to 4000 Ton covering 24 machines for a period of three years. A parallel half-yearly inspection of safety devices for the same 24 machines is also required. The engagement spans a 3-year term, with service cadence of yearly and half-yearly intervals respectively. Current tender data lists no explicit location or start/end dates, but emphasizes quantity consistency and compliance across both service cycles.

Key differentiator includes a dual-service model (annual testing + biannual safety device inspections) for high-capacity presses, ensuring ongoing safety and performance validation aligned with defense production requirements. The absence of BOQ items and specified estimated value suggests a framework contract with quantity-based adjustments under an option clause. The contract’s scale (24 machines) and broad capacity range indicate a sizable scope across the division.

This tender highlights the need for proven competency in precision testing of large presses and safety system audits, with emphasis on reliability, documented certifications, and structured service intervals to support HAL’s Defence Production objectives in 2025.
